Yeah I was looking at JD Davis at 1st or DH....much like Dom Smith would be
-
success is irrelevant Olerud - getting s*** done is the #1 criteria. Todd - you sound like Kenny Powers FFS.
-
Dom Smith, JD Davis, Nimmo - I'd be all over these guys. All 3 could end up being backup/bench players for the Mets next year, which is kind of insane. Speaking of the Mets - is Cespedes alive? I mean if we aren't going to add some quality players via FA a year early (which it appears we won't), I'd use our payroll flexibility to take on Cespedes and Lowrie if we could land some combination of Nimmo, JD Davis, Smith - they're all 24 to 26 and entering their prime. They'd go well with our core.
-
I wouldn't think twice about trading McGuire for Nimmo. 138 PA's in the majors isn't enough to make me forget about the wRC+ of 80 in AAA over the past couple of years. I'd say there's a 95% chance he's a backup and with the young guys in A ball, I think we'll survive both short and long term.
-
Really? I mean in CF yes, but at the corner is he that bad? Sign me up for a Nimmo, who's now entering his prime and is a career 130 wRC+ hitter (over 1,000 PA's). He reminds me a lot of Biggio to be honest. Career 15 BB%.

If you're affected by the propaganda - you should stop following sports. Nearly everything that GM's and the media say is utter ********. Stop watching analysis shows and the pre and post game interviews man...it's all BS.

Fair enough, but if Mazara didn't jump to the MLB as a 20 year old - instead he tore up A/AA/AAA, he'd probably would have been considered one of the top prospects in baseball and then if he made the jump to the MLB and produced like he did last year, wouldn't we all look at him differently and suggest Texas got hosed? It's the failure to improve at the MLB level (and loss of control) that generates this distaste in our mouth for Mazara and I think it's a little unfair. I see this as a reasonable risk for the White Sox. I'm going to give up now b/c you're way smarter than I am and we'll see what happens.

If you don't want to sit - then don't suck.

Royals manager Mike Matheny said Tuesday that Salvador Perez (elbow) could see "considerable time" at first base next season. That's the most Royals thing I've ever read.
-
AA did the exact same thing - he retooled, built the farm system and then put all his chips in the pot (perhaps somewhat foolishly or as a last ditch effort) to go for it. We weren't throwing big FA dollars around every year in the AA days man. It's amazing how quickly people forget and it skews their perception.
-
Fair enough Laika - I trust ya, but he's still a guy who posted a 124 wRC+ as a 23 year old in A+ ball. A .157 ISO doesn't seem to suggest this violent bat speed is producing the results yet. I mean older prospects work out and Walker may, but Mazara was hitting 20 hrs and as just 5% below league average in the major leagues the same time Walker was in A+ ball. I fully expect multiple teams believe they can tap into Mazara's unrealized potential.
-
But....AA never won. He gave us a very short window of opportunity. It's easy to look at the Yankees and go "I want to be them - spend where you need to, play with the big boys - it will be awesome" But more often than not, you end up being the Angels or the Mets and you're s***. I mean the Phillies signed and added a s*** ton of players last year (and this year) and they still sucked.
-
It's funny how quickly people forget how successful FA signings have historically been. We all see shiny toys on the shelf and see it as a great way to make us better...we forget that most of those toys end up losing their luster and being thrown in the trash shortly after they are opened.
-
My sarcasm meter is broken. Maraza's been s*** and there's a good chance he never turns into anything useful, but to get him at age 24 for a 23 year old OF in A+ ball - that seems worth the risk for Chicago.
-
Adam Jones signs a 2 year contract to play in Japan. f*** him. I don't like him.
-
Apparently Texas is looking to move any LH hitting OFer not named Gallo. White Sox are reportedly all over Nomar Mazara.
-
-
Wow - on a 1 year prove it deal. Didi at SS, Segura to 2nd and Kingery to OF? or 3rd base?
-
When was the last time any vesting option was executed?
-
FFS - this exactly the type of deal the Jays should be making with our payroll flexibility.
-
Some ******* decided to only vote for Jeter? what a ****.
-
I'm with Mike on this one. He makes me really nervous. xFIP has gone from 3.32 to 3.84 to 4.06 over the past 3 seasons and is entering his age 32 season. Just something about him that I can't get on board with. That said, he's better than nothing and I do see him as a realistic target and it's nice there's no draft pick associated with him.
-
I agree with this and I don't think Keuchel is good.
-
Rendon + Ryu probably...
